Thanx for tips got from level 1 to 27 in about 1 week thanx to your videos keep it up Greetings from South Africa

[@rodneysmart9774]

Your vids make the game more enjoyable. Question, what's the deal with players that post up on top of me? Fully crowding me while I'm just tryin to fish. It sux so hard.

[@ladysnow3935]

I have to say THANK YOU so much for explaining the rods/reels and optimum setup for them. I've been playing this game off and on (TOTAL noob) when it comes to fishing like this and never knew about the line weight and max drag! So Thank you so much for making this video!!!

[@EMarkMoore]

I know you're busy, but just to say a big "thank you" for these FP videos. I just got the game on PS4 and the Beginner's Guide 1, 2 and this Tips one have been a real boon. Many thanks for taking the time and trouble. Cheers.

[@Zabby]

Glad I could help!

[@jeremysmith5601]

Kind of an advanced tip, if your using braid for predators ie pike, don’t use the heaviest line that your rod can handle. Braid is much more visible and makes a huge difference. Example Loki 7’7” SE I could throw up to 24lb braid but I won’t catch any fish. Instead I throw a 17lb braid w/ a lower weight titanium leader. I catch so many more pikes for farming like trophies and uniques. Especially if it’s sunny. You will also get bigger fish albeit make sure you know how to land a fish b/c you will have a fight but be rewarded greatly.

[@Zabby]

I'm honestly just lazy, so I stick with braid, I never noticed much of a difference in-game but IRL you are 100% correct. Mainly I'm lazy and get mad when I have 50 different types of lines in my backpack lol

[@jeremysmith5601]

Zabby I hear you!

[@jeremysmith5601]

I wish I could post a pic of the uniques I have been catching on this 19lb braid setup. 40-44lb fish worth ~$4K and the 1500xp farming at Michigan. Spent so much time on that water went from lvl 28 to 40 and learned a lot

[@NackDSP]

finally figured out how to build a perfect rod. You always start with the line. Say you want 10 lbs. test line, done. Now pick the reel just barely below 10 lbs. Go with 9.9 lbs. max drag Prima 3500, as it's as close to 10 lbs. as you can get without breaking it ever. Ever. Now pick the rod, pick just over the reel limit of 9.9 lbs. The 10 lbs. Aurora is perfect. Now you have an unbreakable optimally balanced 9.9 lb. capable setup. Add a barbless hook, and you have the strongest 10 lb. test line setup possible that will earn maximum XP points. Say you instead picked the Force Feeder 6000 with 10.5 lb. max. Now you are screwed, as you created a time bomb. You can only use it at the 7/8 drag setting, that's only 9 1/8 lb. If you accidentally set it to 8/8 drag a large fish will break your line and rod. You now see how most reels in the list are useless. That Calisto 8.8 lb. is a waste of money. Too big for 8 lb. line, too small for 10 lb. line. The Espira ML 3000 12.1 lb. reel. Useless. There isn't 12.2 lb. line. You have to use 15 lb. to be safe. Lighter weight line scares fewer fish. Why limit 15 lb. line catches fewer fish than 12 lb line. Using heavier line than required is dumb, you lose XP. By the way, catch the big fish in the kayak with the anchor up, and you can pull in 2 x the weight of fish with no problem.

[@westparkguy1104]

Subbed and liked . Thanks for the help

[@DeanD1990]

I'm not sure if I fully agree with your balanced setup theory but the other tips was quiet helpful even at my level. The reason I don't make a balanced setup is because if I'm trying to catch a particular fish and some monster comes along that also likes that same bait I'd prefer my line to break first before my rod and reel. I've already lost one setup back when I was a level 7 or 8 and that was reasonably balanced.

[@Zabby]

I get that, doesn't need to be perfectly balanced anyways just can't be crazy imbalanced basically. Can always have it setup your way to break the line!

[@DeanD1990]

@@Zabby That's one fast reply lol. Yeah my line is a few lbs less than my reel but still in range of the rod. I know it's possible to cut the line but when I realize I'm spooled it's too late. As I said though still very helpful and appreciated 👍🏻 I just wish I didn't spend money recently on this because I feel as though I'm going to get to a point where I don't want to transition over to the fisherman - fishing planet.

Another tip: Spend your money wisely!!! Make sure you have everything in your backpack before traveling There was so many times where I spent $10,000+ to travel only to realize I forgot the main bait, lure, or even forget to add a reel to a rod, therefore making me travel back to the globe and wasting another 10,000 traveling back.

great video dude im just starting out so this helped loads can i change what fish i have in my keepnet

[@Zabby]

You can release fish in the keepnet but not a stringer.

[@erickort1987]

great video zabby,i think the name of the fish should be labled above the marker on the waterway so you dont have to go back to the navigation map,i think it would make much easier

[@Zabby]

I like that idea or atleast give an option to turn it on and off!

[@erickort1987]

@@Zabby at blue crab i have about 14 markers at one area,,a dude sent me a marker i set it out i had to keep going back to the nav map to find it in the mess of markers,very frustrating

[@Ravoren]

You want the test weight on your line to be the smallest of the three, that way you break your line first, and NOT your rod/reel. The way around this, is using a leader as a break point for too much tension.

[@Leo_Barci]

Hey Zabby, what unlimited licenses do you think a beginner should buy? Great work man, your videos helped me a lot
